It has been foreshadowed that new systems for tribe governance are coming:

Survivor, Jon1812 asks, “When will private property be integrated into the game? Currently if you have a tribe you have to share everything with your tribe. At least having pin codes work for anyone other than the creator would be nice…”

Answer:

This Friday! The release of our epic Jurassic ARK content patch will include:

Tribe Governance Features: Do you want to be a full utopian Communist where everything is shared, rapacious Capitalists with absolute private property, or something in between?

With that in mind, do people have a particular idea in mind for structuring the tribe? At the most it seems to be essentially communist - anyone can use anyone else's stuff (if i'm wrong on this, let me know). I am happy for something like the current model to continue, but I would like to see what the rest of you think.

I think the sharing model works well at the moment because we all know each other and everyone is contributing. If we ever expanded our tribe we might need to revisit the rules or at least make damn sure new invitees knew what the expectation would be.
